    anyone want to hazard whether I'll get out from the airport tomorrow? flight @ 11

    The airport will need about 5 hours without snow to clear the runways etc. It also needs it now to get to cold tonight as a slight thaw followed by freezing weather will make it harder.

    Check radar at 6 am and you should have a fair idea.

    Ah well, there is always some small irrational hope.

    Its like someone built a great big snow machine across the water and aimed it over here. I was going to try and photoshop in a snow machine on one of the radars but alas my photoshop skills are useless :P

    Sorry if this question has been asked and answered 50 times already but it's hard to keep up with the thread...

    Temperatures of +2 along the coast now - this is massively unexpected (or maybe not) - what's the laymans terms for the elevation in temperature?

    Slight thaw on here in Lusk Co Dublin.
    We had a bit of rain earlier on but the sky is clearing now and wind seems to have dropped a bit so hopefully that is the end of the thaw :D
    Not to sure whether the next front will make it this far north later tonight :mad:
    Took this pic about 4 o clock today of a lovely thatched cottage :)

    I have my doubts it will make it here, or if it does it will hit Wickla.

    Seems it is a increase in wind speed. Expected to ease during the night with temp dropping.

    Also temp increase is only close to the coast.

    Looks like in for a very interesting night. Expected radar for around 11pm. Very large front moving westwards!

    FFS. This is typical. I curse being under the gap all day and pray for an almighty streamer to track over Bray.

    Then I hear of rain all along the coastal margins on the east coast (DP almost gone positive on Trogdors site) and pray that I stay under the gap and away from streamers instead so I can keep my lying snow.

    What do I now find. Now, the weather gods decide to put Bray under the Bullseye of the strongest precipitation stream of the whole day and night. F**king typical.

    Its radar,wind, temp and DP watching for the night. Praying that the winds slacken and my DP drops a safe margin below freezing before the motherload of preipitaion arrives over bray.

    This next streamer could be a bonanza of snow for bray or an absolute disaster!!

    Thanks - seems fair - since the coastal areas have probably done the best out of it thus far!

    You said the word "layman" so I took from that that you didn't really understand what was going on and wanted a simple answer?? Apologies if I offended you.
